🔼 Bulldog Burney. MSU softball has brought in another Mississippi native to represent her home state. The Bulldogs welcomed Jadyn Burney to the program over the weekend.

Burney joins the team from Chipola College where she spent two seasons and racked up a career batting average of .320 and stole 41 bases. The Gulfport native was named to a Panhandle Conference All-Defensive Team and started in all but six games in her two-year stint in Florida.
